Tomorrow morning, Fang Xin came to the square.
As soon as he arrived in the square, he stopped him alone. This man was very young, wearing a long and brightly colored priest robe, but his face was pale and his eyes were filled with blood.
Fang Xin recognized him, he was the pastor from yesterday: "Hello, Pastor Isbe."
The priest said enthusiastically: "Fortunately, I finally finished purifying your armor before the morning, but I didn't have time to brand your armor with a family. It seems that this must be done when you come back. I'm about to have a meal. Don't you prepare to come some?"
Fang Xin hesitated for a moment and then understood.
The formal knight enthronement is not a personal matter, it is a solemn and open collective ritual.
The hereditary jazz Licock family could only enthrone two knights. To enthrone themselves, they had to call most of the nobles and knights to watch the ceremony. Last night, they had to take a bath to show that they would wash away all the sins on their bodies. Then they wore white robes, tied their robes and straps on their waists, and prayed overnight until this morning in the hall, which was given by the hereditary jazz himself.
Now my apprentice knights have no territory, they just need to provide food, accommodation and pay some salary. In addition, wars are frequent here, so the so-called apprentice knights are actually higher-level cannon fodder, and their attention is much different.
Understanding this, I immediately arrived at a room and a fat servant expressed his welcome.
As the two sat down at a table made of thick pine wood, they brought white bread and cheese.
After eating, the preparation was almost done. Fang Xin entered the hall. There were not many people inside, including the housekeeper, Miss Dame, Pastor Isbet, and a real knight Alec.
"Hannett, would you like to be a trainee knight of the Licok family?"
Fang Xin half-kneeled down: "In the name of Hannit, Hannit will be loyal to Ellie Licock from now on, fulfill all his obligations as a vassal, and will never deceive!"
Fang Xin’s oath never calls me, but Hannit. This is a bit strange in grammar, but there is no big problem, and no one present cares.
Miss Ellie took out a sword and pointed at Fang Xin's shoulder: "I will confer you as an apprentice knight in the name of the Licock family."
Yu Ruyi moved immediately, Fang Xin was a little surprised, but the ceremony ended simply.
When Fang Xin stood up, the relationship was completely different, and Miss Ellie's attitude immediately changed: "Knight Hannet, I will reward you with this sword. Also, your horse is not a war horse. I have changed you a new one. You can complete the task of notifying each family first. Let's talk about other things when you come back."
"Thank you, Miss, don't worry, I will come back quickly." Fang Xin said, and immediately took the sword. The sword was indeed much better than the original one.
"You can choose two attendants, go and go back quickly, the war is about to begin."
"Yes, your lord!" Fang Xin agreed. In fact, the two servants had already selected and were ready immediately. The war horse was indeed very strong and powerful. The whole set of knight armor was not too heavy.
Fang Xin rode his original horse, and took two servants and the battle horse carrying heavy armor to the west and entered Viscount Cecli Lei's territory. This was the largest noble nearby. He reported to him and completed most of his mission.
At noon, the three of them entered the core territory. Compared with the stone wall town of the Licok family, the Blue Castle located on a hill can be regarded as a real castle.
A stone fortress of fifteen meters high, with five sentry towers, and a stable, barracks, granaries, reservoirs inside. There is a moat outside. On a hill opposite Blue Fort, there is a magnificent church, which is the place where the priests are cultivated.
The castle has a wide view, which is the forest and grass that have been deliberately cut down. At the end of the view, the hillsides are covered with dark green branches. Looking down from the hills, there is a piece of farmland on the plain: vast and fertile.
It was indeed a good place. Fang Xin thought about it and went up to report. Because of his title of apprentice knight, Fang Xin was quickly received after the report. Under the guidance of a young man, he passed through the wooden bridge together. The wooden bridge was strong and sturdy, and could accommodate five people in and out, cross the bridge, and enter the hall of the inner castle.
"Dear Viscount Cecclesley Ray, I am very honored to meet you. I brought the letter from Baron Eddy Derek to report to you that Count Breman is about to start a war again."
When the young man brought Fang Xin into the hall, Fang Xin hurriedly bowed half-kneeling and said so.
Sitting on the red oak chair, Viscount Cecli Ray swept the messenger kneeling in front of him with a lot of worries.
Twenty years old, with a medium figure, calm expression, without the slightest of a despicable person, nodded immediately and said, "Knight Hannet, get up, bring the letter!"
He took the letter and looked at it carefully, but in fact, Viscount Cecli Ray didn't really look at it because the content was too familiar. Every ten years or so, the evil Earl of Briman would start a war. This has become a habit. Even himself has taken it twice, and this is the third time.
Endless wars have become the bottomless pit that absorbs wealth and life. He is a viscount, and there are endless deaths in wars throughout the ages. Thinking of this, he feels helpless.
"I understand, go down, this is a reward for you!" Due to fatigue and helplessness, the Viscount did not ask about the specific information, so naturally the other party's comments were not very high. Although the Hannet Knight seemed to be quite good, he only rewarded a few more silver coins. Then he said, "I will go down and eat something first. After eating, continue to report the message to other territories!"
"Thank you for your generosity!" Fang Xin was a little depressed. If he brought the spoils, the treatment would definitely be different. At this time, he had to stand up and waved his hand, and he automatically left the hall.
However, in a blink of an eye, Yu Ruyi moved a little, and the old servant who led him down to have a step was a bit concealed. Fang Xin secretly took out Yu Ruyi and saw it, and barely felt a little more.
Could it be that passing information to each lord will also have merits to get? Fang Xin was a little confused. He thought carefully. Perhaps it was because he spread the information and established the resistance alliance, which would be beneficial to the survival of the people of these territories?
Fang Xin originally thought he would receive some treatment, but the old servant gave him white bread and some intestines. Fang Xin had to eat a little and leave.
Fang Xinxin absent-mindedly pulled out the horse that had been resting for an hour and rushed to the third key point.
I spent the afternoon and rested overnight. The next morning, I approached the new territory, but just turned a hill and discovered a new situation.
"Sir, look, this village has been attacked." Looking down from the hills, the sun was shining with the thick smoke below. After careful discussion, I saw the actions of a group of dark soldiers.
Chapter completed!
